Feel free to fight back, the Flag Code only suggests standards of respect and care for the US flag, the Supreme Court has twice ruled it is unconstitutional to be punished for not following the Flag Code.

If a sassy flag tells you otherwise, point them to United States Supreme Court in Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989), and U.S. v. Eichman, 496 U.S. 310 (1990)

I think the 50 state flags would rise up in rebellion against the American flag because of their large number and years of oppresion. Hopefully then the 50 will form somewhat of a government in which the humans aren’t slaves…

Even as a third grader I was puzzled by how the pledge could be so poorly written. Since your readers are among the most intelligent (and funniest) of all comic commenters, I’d like them to submit other versions.

The Pledge of Allegiance was written in the 1890s by a New York city socialist. It was directed at recent immigrants and was intended to create a psychological bond with their new country and its (eventual) socialist government. Originally, it was accompanied by by a gesture we today call the Fascist salute but which back then was called Roman salute.

The pledge didn’t receive official sanction to the 1930s. The original “indivisible” was changed to “under god” in the 1950s as a counter-reaction to atheistic communism.

America actually managed to survive 160 years without an official pledge or a national anthem.
